THAT RACKET.


Boston Evening Gazette,
They came adOwn the dusty road,
And crossed the velvet green;
A manliCr figure never strobe
Beside "A maid serene.
What was his racket
She was light and lithesOme lass,
with eyes OF azure hue;
She left no footprints on the grass,
BcuCalh her fairy shoe.
What was her racket.
In tennis court they take their place
A net divides the pair;
But soon It's mCshCs inJCrlaCC
Their BEARS within It's snare,
All, what racket!
EShc thought him rich, ard of her wealth
He'd heard such wOndCTOus tales,
That forth by night they slCered by stealth
And spread their marriage sails.
The same old racket!
Now both are puIy. poor and prOuld,
with many mouths to Ill;
And when the children shrek aloud
lie says, with right good will:
oh, blow that racket"

sion the secretary emerged from his
apartment and drove over to the white
house, walked up the stairs with great
dignity, carrying q great bundle of
papers. In about Que minute the sec
Rotary came down stairs again, bundle
and sill. There was a frown on his brow
and detection in his air. He had been
informed, 30 the report says, that the

One is that the president is so vexed at
his secretary of war that he does not
want to see him. Another 10 that he
actually intends to freeze Endicott ont,
and the third report hiss 1t that Endioott's
resignation already has been requested.
None OF these stories can be traced to
any authoritative source, but tho pre-
diction is freely made that Endicott will
be out OF the cabinet within thirty days.
He would have been out six mouths ago
were ii not for his constitutional inablli-
ty to take q hint, but, this time it will be
something more than a hint. This rebel

have quarter-masters' wagons in readi-
ness to cart them off.

The Nations Naval Trophles.

Washington, June 20-Popuiar attep-
ton having been directed to the cap
tnred flags in the custody of the war
department, there has been some inquiry
concerning the disposal of the flags cap
tured during the rebellion by the United
States navy. The proposed return Of
the banners captured in the field sug-
gested Q return of those taken ON. the
water, and Secretary Whitney was called
upon to-day for some information as to
their Whereabouts. The democratic SEQ
rotary OF the navy was rather nonplussed
and after considering a while he con-
fsssed that he knew nothing about them.
He added, however, with q smile that
one thing was certain, he had given no
order for their return to their former
owners. The question asked the secretary
was then put in succession to each of
the bureau officials in the navy depart
ment until the startling fact was develop.
ed that not one on duty then present
had the slightest idea of their where
abouts. IL was suggested by the chief
clerk that three rebel naval rags might
be in the naval academy at Annapolis,
but Prof. Saley. of the naval department.
IN charge oil the war records of the navy,
who has written q history of the naval
academy stated positively that they were
those captured during the revolution
and the war of 1879. but to his knowledge
there were no rebel colors. This is q
strange discovery and q most embaraass,
ing n for all concerned, and when the
seriousness of the situation was finally
realized the only idea that occurred
to the officials WRs that probably some oil
the : republican ex-secretsries might
know where the flags were stored. The
law of 1884 for the preservation and
exhibition of captured flags is the same
for the navy as for the war department
and there ID considerable consterna,
ton in official circles over the new com
plicatlon to the affair by the inquiries
set on foot to-day.
